    Humanistic Theory and Therapies Schneider and Krug (2015) report that therapeutic outcome studies are finding that the therapeutic environment, the relationship, and the personal styles of the therapist and client are essential features for all therapeutic modalities. These salient therapeutic features are parallel to the central qualities of humanistic therapy, including empathy, therapeutic alliance, enhancing and deepening emotions, the self of the therapist, and the therapeutic relationship (Angus, Watson, Elliot, Schneider, & Timulak, 2015).

    A genogram is a visual representation of family connections. Symbols used within the genogram can illustrate various social and emotional relationships between family members.

My genogram goes back three generations and highlights the psychological abuse passed down from my grandmother to my father and from my father to his children.…

Julie-san, my Japanese grandmother, returned to Japan after raising my mother in the United States in the early nineteen eighties, over a decade before I was born in the States. Her return to Japan was spurred by the death of my grandfather, who died during my mother’s first year of college, and my grandmother’s desire to live out the rest of her life on good terms with her family; who felt slighted by the way she had chosen to move to the US during the post-world war two era. Although my grandmother and I were separated physically for most of my life, the Japanese notions of shame, family…
